Real Salt Lake
Earlier Thursday morning I was once again invited back to U.S. Soccer Federation headquarters in downtown Chicago to witness the semifinal round Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup coin flips.
Let me be honest, unlike the previous three rounds, Thursday's process was the simplest I've witnessed.
That's because even before showing up at Soccer House on Thursday morning, U.S. Soccer had already confirmed what the potential semifinal pairings would be earlier this week based on geography.
Combine that with all eight quarterfinal teams applying to host the semifinals, literally all that was needed was to flip the famous bicentennial silver dollar twice.
Still, Competition Secretary Paul Marstaller kept things official, handing out the same formatted paper which clearly listed the matchups and assigned heads and tails.
That sheet looked like this:
|D.C. United/New England Revolution
|Chicago Fire/Orlando City*
|Real Salt Lake/Carolina RailHawks*
|Portland Timbers/FC Dallas
If I can be bold enough to say, every time the Fire have come up in a coin flip, I honestly get this strange excitement in my stomach. The feeling of a simple coin going a long way to deciding your team's tournament fate is a thrilling, if not brief emotion.
TICKETS: Chicago Fire vs. Orlando City Quarterfinal on June 26
Luckily for the Fire, the first coin flip landed tails, meaning the winner of next Wednesday's game vs. Orlando City will host the winnder of D.C. United/New England on August 7. This is the third straight flip the Fire have won after losing the initial third round flip to the Charlotte Eagles.
In the second flip, the coin came up heads, meaning the winner of Real Salt Lake/Carolina RailHawks will host the winner of Portland/FC Dallas. The flip was the fourth consecutive win for RSL in the 2013 U.S. Open Cup.
And that was it.
Only one coin flip remains and that's for the final which will be played in early October. I'm told that will go down at some point in July.
All intentions to host the final were due along with intentions for the semifinal on Wednesday, though U.S. Soccer will likely not make that list public until the final coin flips occur.
I can confirm the Chicago Fire have applied to host the 2013 U.S. Open Cup final.
Earlier 2013 Open Cup Coin Flips:
The potential quarterfinal pairings for the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup set to be played Wednesday, June 26:
1) Chicago Fire/Columbus Crew winner hosts Sporting Kansas City/Orlando City winner
2) D.C. United/Philadelphia Union winner hosts New England Revolution/New York Red Bulls winner
3) FC Dallas/Houston Dynamo winner hosts Portland Timbers/Tampa Bay Rowdies winner
4) Real Salt Lake/Charleston Battery winner hosts Carolina RailHawks/Chivas USA winner

Quotes from newly acquired Fire forward Mike Magee and head coach Frank Klopas following Monday's training session at Toyota Park.
Chicago Fire Forward Mike Magee
Reaction from friends and family to his return to Chicago…
"People are coming out of the woodwork. I moved away when I was 15 and I haven't moved back since. I got a lot of family here, I've kept in touch with all my friends so its good to be back to say the least."
Realizing the trade was a possibility…
"It's been on my mind pretty much since I left. I tried to get back [here] a couple times in the past and then I think throughout the process with Robbie Rogers, that whole saga with him trying to get to LA, it crept in my mind that somebody had to go to Chicago and I raised my hand."
On if he thought he would be the player traded…
"No, I didn't [think it would be me]. I have to thank the Galaxy. I had a good talk with Bruce, mentioned I'm from here and that it was long past due that I get home. The Galaxy were great in facilitating that."
On if he expects to play this weekend…
"I hope to play on Wednesday. I haven't spoken to them about what the plans are but they brought me here to play."
On if the Fire can still make the playoffs…
"Of course. We're trying to catch Philly who I believe is 10 points ahead of us and we have two games in hand. We have to start getting some points. It's still a very young season. Even watching the guys, they played well and things aren't going their way. Little finishes and they're getting punished for all their mistakes and sometimes that's how it goes. We'll get it right."
On how much he's watched the team recently…
"Not as much as I'd like to. Obviously I watched the game in Salt Lake and I've seen them here and there but I need to catch up quick."
On if he's talked to Frank Klopas about his role…
"No we had a general conversation. We were more talking about Chicago things but he knows I like to play forward and midfield. I'm the kind of guy that just wants to be on the field."
On which spot he prefers playing more…
"It really doesn't matter to be honest."
On if he feels pressure coming into a team that hasn't scored a lot this season…
"I put enough pressure on myself just to perform anyways. It's obviously added pressure when you're on the outside of the playoffs looking in. Instantly when the trade became official I felt that pressure but there's no added pressure to score goals and do anything different than what I've done. The main focus is to starting getting points, starting catching Philly."
On the first time he walked in the Fire locker room…
"It was the first time I was nervous in a while. Obviously there's awkward conversations and kind of meeting some guys, catching up with some old guys. I haven't had that feeling since I went to LA.
"Everything was great. It was more than I expected and there were a lot more faces I knew than I thought I would. They have a great environment here but unfortunately the points aren't showing it."
On how many guys he knew before coming to the Fire…
"I've known Rolfie and Logan [Pause] for a while. [Mike] Matkovich – I've known him since I was young. I played for the Sockers and he was a Magic guy so I hated him then. Not so much now.
"I've known Frank as well since I was a Fire fan. As cliché as that is, Frank's a guy I've always loved as a player and we've kept in touch. Maicon [Santos] from his Chivas days, Wells [Thompson] from us being in the league forever. There's just a bunch of good guys to be honest."
On translating his MLS Cup winning experience to the Fire…
"I hope so. It's weird coming in. I have to cut the cord with LA and try not to mention anything about that. Nobody wants to hear me talk about any of that stuff. Obviously there are certain things that we had there and I'll try to implement some of those things. I played with some pretty cool players in LA so hopefully I'll try to take some of the things I learned from them and teach some of the young guys here. They have good leadership here. Larentowicz and Logan are two good guys – good locker room guys."
Chicago Fire head coach Frank Klopas
I just think there's opportunities to bring quality players in who with any team, you start the season and obviously you look at situations you have to address. [Bakary Soumare and Mike Magee] are two quality players, I think those are two quality players. They'll make our team better and add more depth to the squad. There are a lot of games left to play. There was a need in the back with our injury situation so getting a guy like Baky with his experience, I feel he's missed a lot over the year but every game that he plays once he gets back to his form and fitness level. You saw it the other day and he's not at the level he should be [yet].
Mike obviously you know his experience but he's just a quality player. Plus this is a guy from Chicago, here. The pride that he has with the team and what it means for him to be back. I think that's important – bringing two quality guys that have ties, with Baky starting his career here and Mike being from here, I think that's important.
On if Mike Magee will play in Wednesday's U.S. Open Cup match at Charlotte…
"I can't give you my scouting report because everybody's watching. [Laughs] I think the chances are pretty high."
On where he envisions Magee playing…
"Goalkeeper, goalkeeper. I'm going to invert positions. Sean's going to go forward, Mikey's in the back.
"I think you get him around the goal, that's where he's played. Depending on the need, you can move him around but I think around the goal, with his ability to combine and finish plays is quality. I think its important to get him closer to the goal but obviously things can change depending on what happens or the circumstances with injuries because he can play out wide also or in the midfield."
On taking momentum from Saturday's 1-1 draw at Real Salt Lake into Tuesday's U.S. Open Cup match at Charlotte.
"It's one game but it's something to build on. Cup games – you look around the world, you can't underestimate them. They're difficult matches if you approach them in the wrong way. We need to be very focused and serious and it's a tournament that we enter because we want to win. I think there are four banners up there that show the success the club has had and we want to do everything that we possibly can to try to put ourselves in a position to win. We start Wednesday and we need to be very focused and not underestimate anyone. You see upsets all over the world with games like this. The guys understand that, they're focused and ready and we're going to put out the best squad to give us a chance to win."
On if Mike Magee's MLS Cup championship experience is something that can translate in Chicago…
"For sure. With his experience and also being in games like that. He's been around different teams and played with a lot of great players that he's benefited from but also they've benefited from him. You can put some guys to play next to Messi but you have to have some quality too. For sure that experience will help but he's just a quality player. He's easy to play with but also makes everyone around him better and he's from Chicago."
On if Soumare and Magee's ties to Chicago will help with the transition process…
"Í think that helps a lot but also these are guys within the league. They know the league well but also they feel at home here. Baky started here, Mike grew up here, his family is here and Baky has a lot of people here he calls family. I think that's important but more than anything they're guys that really care about the club.
"There's a deep meaning to these guys and there's a pride when they put the jersey on. You have to care, it's gotta be something that hurts inside when you don't do well. It might not be the same for any other club but for us, that's what it means here. When we walk around, we have a lot of passion for the team, the city and soccer here in this town. For me and my staff and guys like Baky and Mike and the rest of the team, that's how we feel. You gotta care, you gotta be honored to put that jersey on and that's what it means to these guys."
Frank Klopas, Chicago Fire Head Coach
Overall thoughts on the game
"That it's a good result. You get a point over here, it's not an easy place to play. Obviously, you know, we wanted to be better with the ball in possession with a team that kind of controls the game. You know, we gave up a lot of possession, thus we had to chase a lot of the game. But I thought our guys, even going down one goal, showed a lot of heart and character. Again, the point here was something to build on."
If this will change the situation for the Fire
"Well, we hope so. It's one game. We'll take it a game at a time. But, you know, any time you can pick up points on the road – especially in this place here, it's a very good team – It's something to build on, it's positive. We have a long way to go, it's a long season. But for us right now, it's one game at a time and continue to keep working. My team showed a lot of character."
If injuries were the difference
"No, it's ok. The guys have been good, you know. I mean, they didn't give up when Saborio came in and scored a great goal and that's going to happen. I thought Sean made some great saves and guys gave everything on the field. We had some chances, but like I said, it's not an easy place to play and obviously getting a point, we'll take that and look to build on this."
On Sean Johnson's performance tonight
"Yeah, you need that. When you're on the road, you know, you obviously need to defend well as a team and need your goalkeeper to step up big, which Sean did and when you get your chances, you know, put them away. I thought we had some not good looks, but we got in good spots and some final pass execution, this or that, we weren't as clear in the final third or as good in the final third. But we found a way to come back and, obviously, a big key to that was Sean. With the saves that he made and with that team working extremely hard, especially when we didn't have as much possession in the game. Like I said, it's something to build on, it's a difficult place to play. It's a really good team."
On making adjustments after the Saborio goal
"We had to push the game. We took out Logan, who's a little bit more defensive minded, we put another forward out, we dropped Alex, who we thought would give us a lot more in the final third so we had to push the game at that point.
On snapping the scoreless streak
"No, it's a point. It's difficult, you know, when you don't score goals in six games to get a positive result. The good thing is that in those matches we created opportunities. We just got to concentrate and our focus has got to be better in the final third. I think any time you can score, I think again, even tonight coming from behind shows a lot of character. That it's good if you can take leads early on, takes a lot of pressure from the team. But being able to score and get a point here, like I said, in a difficult place against a very good team is something to build on for us."
On the Fire's two new players
"Yes, one played tonight and Baky's [Soumare] an excellent player and I think he just needs time. He had a minor injury that kept him away for a long time and now he's getting in a little bit of a rhythm playing. I think the more games he gets under the better he's going to get, but he brings a lot of quality to us. Same as Mike Magee, a kid from Chicago, he's done extremely well. He's a quality player, someone that's going to add to more quality in the final third for us."
Joel Lindpere, Chicago Fire Midfielder
On the team's performance
"I think we pulled it out and it was a team effort, so I think we continued to battle. They come home to play and I haven't tied or won here in my career so always when I come here it is very tough with the altitude and they play very good here at home so for me they are one of the strongest home teams in the league. We were down 1-0 and I think today the subs helped us out. We have many games and we always use three subs and we pull out starters and bring fresh guys in. I think today they really helped us. It shows that we really are one team and we fight in very tough situations, as we are in now. We are capable of earning three points and we have to start somewhere. Everybody hopes that this is the start where we can move up so we are going to keep going and concentrate on D.C. United who has also been in a very difficult situation, so it's going to be an interesting game for both teams."
Jeff Larentowicz, Chicago Fire Midfielder
On the team's performance and what the result means for the team
"For us it's a good result. I think that for any team to come here and get a point is good. They're a tough team to play at Rio Tinto and we're a team that's struggling so for us to get a point on the road is good."
On the addition of Mike Magee
"You know we'll see. I'm not sure what the coaches have planned for him but you know when he comes in we'll welcome him. He has shown he can score goals this year so at the moment we'll welcome him."
Select shots from the Fire's draw with Real Salt Lake
The Fire head west to Utah on Saturday night after dropping two games against the Union both at home and in Philadelphia. The team is without a goal in three games and face a daunting task against \ in-form Real Salt Lake (7:30pm CT on My50). RSL swept Chivas aside last weekend, cruising to a 4-1 victory. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
The return of Soumare – more changes for the Fire back line?
On Thursday, the Fire acquired former player Bakary Soumare from the Union. Soumare will provide some much-needed depth at the center back position with the long-term future of Arne Friedrich in doubt.
Soumare's return comes at a good time for the Fire who are without a number of players due to injury and suspension. With Wells Thompson suspended, Frank Klopas could choose to move Jalil Anibaba to the right side of defense and slot Soumare in alongside Austin Berry.
Athletico Coaching Corner: Real Salt Lake
The injury to Friedrich has meant a longer than expected spell in the middle for Anibaba and in his absence, the right-back position has changed hands on numerous occasions this season.
READ: Soumare ready to start vs. RSL
Though right-back isn't Anibaba's natural position, the defender has played there for a lot of his Fire career and is comfortable in it.
Against a team like Salt Lake who are known for their aerial prowess, another big body on the back line like Soumare's in addition to Anibaba and Berry would be very useful.
Getting some consistency in defense is very important from here on out and a starting four of Anibaba, Soumare, Berry and Segares would appear to have the right blend of youth and experience.
The Fire's attack – pace vs possession
In both games vs. the Union, coach Frank Klopas started Patrick Nyarko up front with Chris Rolfe in an attempt to bring some speed to the forward line.
Against Salt Lake however, a more logical tactic would be to use a bigger body who can hold the ball up and can be used as an outlet to relieve pressure.
Sherjill MacDonald is fit again after an illness and could start up front as the target forward. This would allow the Fire to move Patrick Nyarko back to the wing, possibly in place of Joel Lindpere who has logged a lot of minutes this season.
READ: Nyarko keeps ticking despite reckless tackles
Though Nyarko's creativity and pace in the attack worked well against Philly, his desire to track back and help the defense could prove very important, especially against a team with a wealth of attacking options who are so offensive minded at home.
The problem with starting MacDonald up front is that he can oftentimes be left devoid of support and it will be up to players like Rolfe, and Duka to get forward and support the Dutchman.
If he does get the nod, the battle between him and the RSL center backs such as Kwame Watson-Siriboe will be very interesting to watch.
RSL's midfielders – tracking runs into the box
RSL plays with a diamond midfield system with Kyle Beckerman anchoring and Javier Morales playing at the top of the diamond. Morales is the team's playmaker and oftentimes acts as a third striker, getting forward to support the front two.
Duka, Larentowicz preview Real Salt Lake
Though Morales is an obvious target, players like Ned Grabavoy and Luis Gil who play on the flanks cut inside on a regular basis, making runs into the middle when joining in the attack.
With this many players getting forward, the Fire must be aware not only of who is marking who but must prevent RSL from getting second ball opportunities.
Similar to the Fire for most of the season, RSL likes to play with at least one mobile striker while the other tends to play higher up the field.
The mobile striker, oftentimes Joao Plata, drifts into wide positions, usually on the right hand side. His moves out wide open up more space for players like Morales, Grabavoy and Gil to move into.
Plata has four assists this season and is a good crosser of the ball. His crossing ability was displayed earlier this month against Vancouver where he put in a perfect ball Gil to head home the winner.
Staying tight with runners from midfield and not allowing second ball opportunities will improve the Fire's chances of getting a result on the road dramatically.
Prediction: Rio Tinto Stadium is one of the hardest places in MLS to get a result in. The Fire has had no luck this season and perhaps Saturday night will be the night. 1-1 with Chris Rolfe scoring the Fire's goal from the penalty spot.

UPDATE - Segares clarified his comments following training on Wednesday.
"Its always an honor to be called up to the national team and represent your country. Regretfully at this moment the injuries the team is suffering along with the Open Cup game and league game against Real Salt Lake prevents the team from allowing me to go with the national team. If it was my decision, I would love to go with the national team but regretfully its just not the right moment. My door is always open for a national team call-up."
Last week, Chicago Fire defender Gonzalo Segares was summoned by Costa Rica for next week's international friendly against Canada in Edmonton.
With Segares having mostly gone unselected by the Ticos the last few years, the call-up was a welcome one. With the Fire experiencing a high amount of injuries, Orrin Schwarz reports the Fire left back turned it down in order to stick with the Men in Red through Saturday's game at Real Salt Lake and Wednesday's U.S. Open Cup match at Charlotte Eagles.
"We have important games coming up, and it's not a FIFA date, so I cannot leave my team right now," Segares said. "We need to stay together. It's not the right time for me to go."
Should the Chicago Fire come away victorious over the Charlotte Eagles in the third round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup next Wednesday, the team is guaranteed to host its fourth round match against either the Columbus Crew or Dayton Dutch Lions on Wednesday, June 12 at Toyota Park.
I'll have a full play-by-play of the draw later today on Chicago-Fire but until then, see below all fourth round U.S. Open Cup matchups:

Maicon Santos' two-goal substitute performance had me thinking this week, how often have Fire players come off the bench to tally a brace?
The Answer: It's a very rare thing… Santos' effort on Sunday was just the fifth time (or .008%) in the club's 573 all-time competitive matches that a player has scored two goals off the bench. It was just the third time in MLS league play and first since 2006.
The others...
Orr Barouch - Chicago Fire 4, New York Red Bulls 0 - U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinal (7/12/2011)
In a memorable match that was moved up to 5pm because of a massive power outage at Toyota Park, Barouch came on at halftime for Cristian Nazarit with the Fire already leading 2-0. It took the Israeli youth international just five minutes to make it 3-0 before closing the scoring off a feed from Diego Chaves in the 69th minute (WATCH).
PERUSE: TrueCar Player Registry
Barouch led the side with three goals in Open Cup play on the way to the tournament final that year.
Chad Barrett – Chicago Fire 2, Real Salt Lake 1 – MLS Regular Season (6/28/2006)
Throughout much of his first two seasons with the Men in Red, Chad Barrett was an oft-used second half attacking sub. In this match, he repaid Dave Sarachan's faith in him, entering for captain Chris Armas in the 68th minute before heading home the equalizer off a cross from Justin Mapp in the 80th minute (WATCH).
Five minutes later, Mapp would slot Barrett through the RSL backline before the second-year striker put slid his effort past Scott Garlick and in off the post for the winner (WATCH).
The effort was the first of two braces for Barrett during his time with the Men in Red, the other coming in a 5-1 victory at Red Bull on May 25, 2008.
Dipsy Selolwane – Chicago Fire 4, San Juan Jabloteh 0 – CONCACAF Champions Cup (3/17/2004)
With the team coming off a somewhat shocking 5-2 first leg defeat away to the Trinidadian side, the Men in Red returned to Soldier Field needing four goals in the second leg in order to advance.
Though Damani Ralph took the aggregate score to 5-3 just before halftime, Selolwane entered for current Fire captain Logan Pause to provide more offense after the break. The Botswanan international's long-range effort in the 51st minute brought the Fire to within a goal before his empty net finish 11 minutes later brought the score level.
Selolwane proved to be Man of the Match when he set up Chris Armas' 90th minute series winner to push the Fire past Jabloteh 6-5 on aggregate and into the Champions Cup semifinals.
Interestingly, that performance was the only brace of Selolwane's Fire career, though he did come up with back-to-back game-winners in the team's run to the U.S. Open Cup final that season.
Hristo Stoitchkov – Chicago Fire 7, Kansas City Wizards 0 – MLS Regular Season (7/4/2001)
Of course the Mad Bulgarian was the first to do this with the Fire and of course it came in the Fourth of July Massacre.
With the team already leading 4-0, there was little need for Stoitchkov to come on in the 78th. One minute after entering the match, Piotr Nowak scored his second to take the game to 5-0 and then Stoitchkov proceeded to drive the dagger in tallying in the 83rd and 88th minutes to exact revenge for the Fire's MLS Cup loss to Kansas City the year before (WATCH).
Like Barrett, Stoitchkov tallied two braces while with the Men in Red. The first came in his debut appearance, a 4-2 Opening Day loss to the Dallas Burn on March 18, 2000.

About Scotty McCreery
Since winning Season Ten of American Idol in May 2011, he has quickly emerged as the most successful new country star of the last year. His debut album, Clear As Day, was certified platinum for sales of more than 1 million units in just three months, and he was named No. 1 on Billboard magazine's list of Top New Country Artists for 2011. He won the Academy of Country Music's New Artist of the Year Award in April and New Artist of the Year Award at the American Country Awards in December.

His video "The Trouble With Girls" is nominated for the USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year at the upcoming 2012 CMT Music Awards. Clear As Day debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 and Top Country Albums charts, making him the youngest man in history to open at the top of the all-genre chart with a debut release. It also garnered the highest sales of any country solo album released last year and held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart for six weeks. The album's first two singles, "I Love You This Big" and "The Trouble With Girls," have also been certified gold, and his current single is "Water Tower Town."
About Easton Corbin
Mercury Nashville recording artist Easton Corbin is being lauded for his traditional country sound, authentic lyrics and mastery of understatement. USA Today says Easton "is a country music throwback with an easygoing, old-school style." He is the first country male artist in 17 years to have his first two consecutive singles reach No. 1 -- "A Little More Country Than That" and "Roll With It." The Gilchrist County Florida native won all of the Breakthrough Artist awards in December 2010 at the American Country Awards – Artist of the Year: Breakthrough Artist, Single of the Year: Breakthrough Artist and Music Video: Breakthrough Artist for "A Little More Country Than That." Billboard named Corbin as the Top New Country Artist of 2010. His current single is "Lovin' You Is Fun," from his forthcoming sophomore album.Visit www.eastoncorbin.com or www.umgnashville.com to learn more about the Florida native.
About Kristen Kelly
Arista Nashville recording artist Kristen Kelly is new on the radio with the irresistible groove of "Ex-Old Man," a true-to-life song she wrote with Paul Overstreet and the first single from her major label debut album, releasing later this year. With influences spanning country, classic rock, and the blues, Kristen describes her music as "a little more grease than polish," pairing powerhouse vocals with lyrics that hit home about real life and real emotion. In its debut week at radio, "Ex-Old Man" was already turning heads, marking the first time in Country Aircheck chart history that a new female artist's debut single topped the most-added list. A Texas native, Kristen co-wrote 7 of the 11 songs on her upcoming album, helmed by nine-time CMA Award-winning producer, Tony Brown. Keep up with Kristen online at www.KristenKellyMusic.com and on Twitter @KristenKelly.
About Jana Kramer
Jana Kramer, the honey-voiced Nashville newcomer, is getting ready to release her self-titled debut album June 5th, 2012 on Elektra Nashville. The album, recorded by multi award-winning producer Scott Hendricks (Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson, Blake Shelton), features Kramer's first single, "Why Ya Wanna." The track has been blazing an impressive trail up the charts at a record pace, already No. 22 on Billboard in just 15 weeks. Meanwhile, the Michigan native and former One Tree Hill actress has sold over 330,000 digital singles to date, including almost 150,000 of "Why Ya Wanna." Kramer was recently named CMT's inaugural "Listen Up" artist, a campaign spanning across the channel and online. She also recently made her Grand Ole Opry debut, performing on the famous stage April 13th. For more information, please visit: www.JanaKramer.com
About Love and Theft
Love and Theft is a bit different from the group that scored a Top 10 hit two years ago with "Runaway." But the changes that have affected the group—most notably, signing with RCA Records and downsizing to a duo—have actually brought Love and Theft closer to what it originally set out to be: a band that writes, records and performs honest, soulful country music. "Angel Eyes" is the debut single from Love and Theft's forthcoming self-titled album being released on Tuesday, July 24. "This really feels like a new beginning for us," says Stephen. Eric adds, "We have a new label (RCA), a new producer (Josh Leo), there are two of us now instead of three, but the core of Love and Theft is still the same and our sound is still driven by harmonies. Love and Theft recently received news of their first CMT Music Awards nomination in the Duo Video of the Year category for "Angel Eyes."

Shortly after E3 when Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero World Tour were formally introduced, I started thinking about all of the possibilities that the two games offered in terms of Artists and Songs. At that point, I realized that there are scores of great artists and songs that simply have not found there way into any band games. So about a month ago, I started compiling the list of these artists and songs that in my opinion would be fantastic additions to either game (I deliberately left out Konami's Rock Revolution as it is still just a red-headed step child until proven otherwise.) There have been many revisions, as announcements of DLC have been rolling in, but below are the artists and songs that made the final for this piece. The list is lengthy and contains some good stuff, so it is segmented into four distinct time frames, including 1979 and prior, 1980's, 1990's and 2000's. The artists I chose are placed in the era that I felt best represented their becoming prominent or the time of their best success.
Each artist on the list is broken out to include their name, the album I feel best represents that group and any signature songs (not necessarily from the album of choice) that would be fantastic to play solo or as a group. This is by no means a comprehensive list, and does lean toward the more popular songs. Feel free to leave a reply with your own personal choices that would be great additions…..
1979 and Prior
Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Beatles
The Skinny: This will probably never happen and is just wishful thinking on my part. I don't even have to explain these choices, but I felt the need to get it out of the way because we all want them, but it probably wont be in our lifetime.
Album of choice: Classics Vol. 15
Signature Songs: 'Renegade', 'Crystal Ball', 'Blue Collar Man', 'Come Sail Away'
The Skinny: Styx is one of those Super Groups from the last couple of decades whose music is still renowned when it hits the radio. While the music may not be the most challenging for hardcore players, the vocals would be out of site trying to keep up with the set of pipes that Dennis DeYoung routinely flashes. This is a personal favorite band of mine and I still crank up their songs when they come on the radio.
Album of choice: A Kind of Magic
Signature Songs: 'Another one Bites the Dust, 'Bohemian Rhapsody', 'Under Pressure', 'One Vision'
The Skinny: With all the gifts that Britain has sent across the pond, Queen may be the best of them all, as they are one of the greatest bands that ever played. Freddy Mercury may have the best vocal range of any singer we are discussing and the elaborate guitar and drum lines would make for some fun playing. Queen touched on all types of music, so there is something for everyone if they ever make it into the games. Not to mention, we all want to don our Wayne and Garth wigs and rock out to 'Bohemian Rhapsody.'
The Eagles
Album of choice: Hotel California
Signature Songs: 'Hotel California', 'Desperado', 'Heartache Tonight'
The Skinny: The Eagles songs lean heavily on the vocals and harmonization, but they also have some great guitar and Bass lines from the group of Walsh, Frey, Meisner, Schmit and Felder. Couple that with the drums of Don Henley and you have another former "Super Group" that people would love to play the hell out of at parties or on their own. At this time, 'Hotel California' has been confirmed as a song on GHWT set list.
Fleetwood Mac
Album of choice: Rumors
Signature Songs: 'The Chain', 'Don't Stop', 'Go Your Own Way'
The Skinny: With vocals from the likes of Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie during one of their most prosperous periods, Fleetwood Mac is ideally suited for Rock Band or GHWT to please any type of singer. They have several mega hits and many other songs that are pleasing to play and listen to. As of this time, 'Go Your Own Way' has been confirmed for both RB2 and GHWT.
The Doors
Album of choice: Greatest Hits
Signature Songs: 'Light My Fire', 'Riders on the Storm', 'Love Her Madly'
The Skinny: Another band that has only a single song included in the Band games so far, as 'Love Me Two Times' will be part of the set list upon the release of GHWT. There is just so much brilliance from the band, not the least of which would be singing the great Jim Morrison. Also, this is another group that could feature a keyboard inspired peripheral for future playback.
Era: 1970's
Album of choice: Supertramp - The Very Best Of
Signature Songs: 'The Logical Song', 'Take the Long Way Home'
The Skinny: Supertramp produced so many hits that would be fun to play and are all catchy as hell. Rick Davies has a unique voice and coupled with the song lyrics, would make for a great vocal challenge. Another group that is just begging for a Piano inspired instrument….
Rolling Stones
Album of choice: All of them?
Signature Songs: 'Paint it Black', 'Satisfaction', 'Jumpin Jack Flash'
The Skinny: Another super group with so many songs spanning so many decades. The Stones have shown up in Guitar Hero and SingStar, so why not the Heavyweights of the genre? Bring it on Activision and Harmonix, people will buy these songs like hot cakes. As of this writing, the Stones 'Gimme Shelter' from Rock Band is the only song included in either of the games.
Signature Songs: 'Don't Be Cruel', 'Jailhouse Rock', 'Viva Las Vegas', 'Hound Dog'
The Skinny: I mean c'mon, it's the flipping KING baby! This may be the hardest of all artists to get into these games with acquiring the rights, but with a catalog that is loaded with some of the original Rock songs, this is an opportunity that simply cannot be wasted.
Steve Miller Band
Album of choice: Greatest Hits 1974-1978
Signature Songs: 'The Joker', 'Fly like an Eagle', 'Jet Airliner', 'Take the money and Run'
The Skinny: Yes! The ultimate classic rock band every college student gets introduced to. The songs are cool, fun to play and cater to both the young and middle age enthusiasts. More personal favorites that I hope to see expanded with DLC. At launch, the Steve Miller Band has 'The Joker' on the GHWT and 'Rock'n Me' in RB2 in the set lists of the games.
Finally, here is a list of 15 individual songs from the 1970's and earlier I would like to see hit one of the games. Again, not comprehensive, but stuff I would like to play:
Peter Frampton – Baby, I Love Your Way (1975)
Warren Zevon - Werewolves of London (1978)
The Byrds – Turn, Turn, Turn! (1962)
Cream – White Room (1968)
Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit (1966)
Kiss – God Gave Rock and Roll to You (1973)
The Who – Love Reign O'er Me (1973)
Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild (1968)
Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower (1967)
Chuck Berry – Johnny B. Goode (1958)
The Troggs – Wild Thing (1966)
The Yardbirds – For Your Love (1965)
The Kinsmen - Louie Louie (1963)
Derek and the Dominos - Layla (1970)
Blue Oyster Cult – Godzilla (1977)
The 1980s were filled with metal, rock and glam everywhere you looked. It also happens to be the largest untapped market for Band games such as Rock Band and Guitar Hero World Tour. So many great artists became prominent in this era, and many also disappeared as quickly as they became household names. Again, this is not a comprehensive list and is based largely on the music that influenced me through the years.
Van Halen, Def Leppard, Motley Crüe
Guns n Roses
The Skinny: All of these bands have been confirmed as appearing in some form in either Rock Band or GHWT. However, the classic hits and songs that made them great is what I would like to see. We will have to wait, but get me some Hysteria, 1984 or Appetite for Destruction out there and I will be a happy camper.
Bruce Springsteen/John Cougar Mellencamp
Album of choice: Born in the USA/American Fool
Signature Songs: 'Born in the USA'/'Rain on the Scarecrow', 'Small Town'
The Skinny: Where in the heck are two ICONS of American rock? Two of the greatest rock singer-songwriters of our generation don't even get a sniff into the band games. I can easily click off hit after hit from both performers. Heavy on the vocals and the guitar work, I know I would have fun playing these songs, so let's see if we can get some love from Harmonix and MTV to try and steer some of these goodies our way?
ZZ Top
Album of choice: Eliminator
Signature Songs: 'Legs', 'Gimme all Your Lovin', 'Tush'
The Skinny: Despite spanning four decades, the 1980's defined ZZ Top with a string of Top 10 albums highlighted by the 10x Platinum selling Eliminator. Their Southern Rock, multiple hits and signature beards make them a must-have for any band game. The door has already been opened as 'La Grange' is playable song in Guitar Hero III. Now let's see some of their other songs make the jump.
Album of choice: Joshua Tree
Signature Songs: 'Beautiful Day', 'Vertigo', 'One', 'Where the Streets Have No Name'
The Skinny: I'm not sure why U2 isn't in any of the games, as they have won more Grammy's than any other band and have one of the best selling catalogs of all time. The possibilities are limitless, but it probably boils down to money or one of the band members not willing to agree to license the songs. Regardless, this is another one of those artists that Red Octane and Harmonix need to put a full-court-press on to get involved in the games.
Huey Lewis and the News
Album of choice: Sports
Signature Songs: 'The Power of Love', I Want a new Drug', 'The Heart of Rock & Roll'
The Skinny: Yeah, so what? Huey Lewis and the News were a bit "soft' for a rock band, but they still pumped out plenty of great songs whether anyone will admit to it or not. I've seen worse come across the Rock Band store plenty of times….
The Bangles
Album of choice: Different Light
Signature Songs: 'Walk Like an Egyptian', 'Hazy Shade of Winter', 'Manic Monday'
The Skinny: If there is one thing missing from Rock Band, it is artists with a female lead. The Bangles could help fill that void with their collection of radio hits and quality songs. They recoded a vast range of songs types, and who wasn't in love with Susanna Hoffs? Even at age 49 she is still a babe.
Tears for Fears
Album of choice: 'Songs from the Big Chair'
Signature Songs: 'Shout', 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World'
The Skinny: One of the biggest acts of the 1980's (especially across the pond with two #1 and one #2 albums) produced a bit of a mellow sound that was influenced by new wave and punk. They had many hits in the UK, but their 1985 album "Songs from the Big Chair" spawned several Billboard Hot 100 #1 songs. Another one of those guilty pleasures that is better than much quite of bit of the content we have seen to date.
Album of choice: Long Cold Winter
Signature Songs: 'Bad Seamstress Blues /Fallin' Apart at the Seams', 'Nobody's Fool', 'Gypsy Road'
The Skinny: Most people under 25 probably have never even heard of Cinderella, but they were one of the best hair bands of the 1980's. Long Cold Winter was an album that sucked you in and demanded you play it over and over until you knew the songs by heart. I personally went through three cassette tapes of it and still love it to this day. Night Songs also produced some good music including 'Nobody's Fool'. The challenge to playing their music is the up and down tempo and trying to match Tom Kiefer's vocals.
Album of choice: Empire
Signature Songs: 'Real World', 'Silent Lucidity', 'Best I Can'
The Skinny: Queensrÿche was one of the best bands of the 1908's both in studio and live. Things slipped a bit in the late 1990s, but Operation: Mindcrime and Empire are some of my all-time favorite albums filled with music that is edgy as it is catchy. Although "Empire" is loaded with radio hits, my personal favorite single is 'Real World', found only on the "Last Action Hero" Soundtrack. I use this as a test song for any audio devices I am reviewing for GamingNexus due to its unique composition and how the music evolves from start to finish. Of any of their singles, this would be the one I most desire to have.
Whitesnake and Coverdale/Page
Album of choice: Whitesnake, Coverdale/Page
Signature Songs: 'Here I go", 'Still of The Night', 'Is this Love', 'Pride and Joy'
The Skinny: With power ballads galore and some heavy Led Zeppelin influence, Whitesnake finally cracked the US charts with success in the late 1980s. The self-titled 1987 album spawned no fewer than three top hits that allow both instrumentals and vocalists to play some classic songs. The 1993 album Coverdale/Page put out also had several band game worthy titles, including 'Pride and Joy'. This one has a little guilty pleasure for me, as I was a huge fan of Whitesnake (loved Tawny Kitaen!) and the one-album Coverdale/Page collaboration.
Album of choice: Heart
Signature Songs: 'Barracuda', 'Never', 'These Dreams'
The Skinny: Another all-girl band that would be a great addition to the band games. Ann and Nancy Wilson were the consummate Rock queens and had multiple top radio hits over the years including four from the 1985 Album "Heart." Previously, Heart has had songs appear in the Guitar Hero series, with 'Barracuda' in GH III and Crazy on You ion Guitar Hero II, so jumping to the band games shouldn't be much of a stretch.
Finally, here is a list of 15 individual songs from the 1980's I would like to see hit one of the games. Again, not comprehensive, but stuff I would like to play:
Dio – Holy Diver (1983)
Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart (1983)
Grateful Dead – Touch of Grey (1987)
Jane's Addiction – Been Caught Stealing (1989)
Quiet Riot - Cum on Feel the Noize (1982)
Squeeze – Tempted (1980)
The Clash – Rock the Casbah (1982)
Talking Heads – Burning Down the House (1983)
Run-D.M.C. – Walk This Way (1986)
The B-52s – Love Shack (1989)
J. Geils Band – Centerfold (1981)
Bryan Adams – Summer of '69 (1984)
The Go-Go's – Vacation (1982)
Twisted Sister – Were not Gonna Take It (1984)
Europe – The Final Countdown (1985)

text: Strangely having been to so many amusement parks before, this is not something I specialize in at all. I'm not big on fancy hotels either, but I also get military discounts for just about every hotel out there. So I'm saving regardless. But generally I book at Holiday Inn Express or Best Western. I always know what I am getting with them and with school, I need to ensure all hotels have good internet access at night to do homework while traveling. When I go to Cedar Point, I stay at the Best Western there about 2 miles from the park. I never stayed at a hotel by Kings Island though because I was always stopping there enroute to a different park (Usually CP).

SOURCE Run or Dye
Race series will feature five or more dye stations and a color voting system for participants
SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Run or Dye, the world's most colorful 5K, is giving its competition a run for their color with the launch of the 2014 Give Love® World Tour. With an extra blast of color, a feature promising 'Your City, Your Color, Your Vote,' and newly designed giveaway swag, Run or Dye is changing the face of color 5Ks in over 150 cities around the world.
Run or Dye is the first color 5K series to give participants access to at least five Dye Stations along the route. While each city is guaranteed five Dye Stations, there will be the option to "earn" even more stations based on the number of participants who turn out. Participants will also be able to choose the colors used during their city's event through a new voting widget on the Run or Dye website. The increase in color options and the ability to paint a city in a custom rainbow of colors allows participants to make the race their own. The Give Love World Tour will also feature a newly launched international tour, a rebranded website, new logo and new giveaway merchandise for each runner.
"Our core message is that love changes the world, and the color we use at our runs is a powerful symbol of that," said Viral Events founder and CEO Jake Ackerman. "By making our events more customized and colorful, not to mention the money we're able to donate to charities in each city, people will be able to experience that message in a visceral way."
The Give Love World Tour draws its inspiration from the ancient Hindu festival of Holi, also known as the "Festival of Colors." During the Holi Festival, people gather, sing, dance, play, chase and color one another with powder to celebrate the triumph of good over bad, bridge social gaps and renew sweet relationships. In the same fashion the Give Love World Tour aims to encourage its participants to celebrate life, friendship, fitness and fun in full color.
"Our goal is to continually exceed our audiences' expectations while still upholding the integrity of the inspiration we pull from the Holi Festival," continued Ackerman.
The new race features will take effect beginning with the races scheduled on February 15th and continue for the rest of the 2014 tour.

So I have a bunch of stuff that I need to get off my chest and I didn't know where to put it. There's a good chance this thread will sink to the bottom really fast, but let's see what sticks.
The point of this thread is to just spout off a bunch of personal opinions and see what like-minded or antagonistic response I get. Being a comic book forum, I figure I'll lead with a comic book related topic.
Olivier Coipel vs. Jim Lee
As you can see from my sig, I'm a huge fan of Olivier Coipel. I get books just for his art. I mainly got House of M, Siege, and the first collection of Fraction's Thor just for his art alone. The man is an amazing talent. If you have a chance to read his run with JMS on Thor, you will not regret it. I think Thor is a fairly lame characters, but man did JMS grab my attention with his interpretation of Thor and Coipel just knocked the art out of the park.
Then we have Jim Lee. Really, Jim Lee represents my first comic book love. I read a comic here and there, but the day I became a comic book fan was when I bought a copy of X-Men #1 by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee. His art featured characters that were larger than life, powerful and beautiful. With Claremont turning the drama up to 11, Jim Lee's art caught on more fire. Obviously, all of this was reinforced by the inclusion of some of the greatest characters to exist in comics...the X-Men.
My problem is...as good as Jim Lee was and still is, I feel that his art has plateaued. At the same time, the same amount of vibrant energy and powerful illustration has been elevated to the levels of astonishing by Coipel. So why is it that Coipel does not get the same amount of acclaim that Jim Lee is getting?
Is it because the comic book fans of the 90s are the ones that still determine which comics are in and which comics are lame?
Is it because art is subjective, but subjectively...Jim Lee is better than Olivier Coipel?
Is it because Jim Lee is working on characters that more people want to read about than what Coipel is doing?
What is it?

I've recently CNC cut some custom jockey wheels out of a carbon fiber sheet that I had laying around and am having trouble bonding them to SS bearings. Originally I had just used epoxy resin and put a generous amount around the flanged part of the bearing. After installing them on my bike the top pulley lasted all of about 5 minutes before separating itself from it's bearing.
How has everyone else been able to secure bearings to CF pulleys? I'd really appreciate any help.
(CF sheet is 1.5 mm and bearings are 5x10x4 mm flanged bearings.)

Houston, TX – The Abbotsford Heat were defeated 4-1 by the Houston Aeros (AHL affiliate of the Minnesota Wild) on Thursday night at the Toyota Center.
Former Heat Defenceman Brian Connelly scored two power play goals, and the Aeros added two goals at even strength to hand the Heat their second loss on this road trip through Texas. Mike Testwuide had a fight for the second straight game and ended Darcy Kuemper's shutout bid on a goal with just 14 seconds left.
Brian Connelly's first of two goals put Houston up 1-0 at 18:28 of the first period with a point shot that deflected in off a Heat penalty-killer. At 7:30 of the second period Connelly scored again on the fourth power play of the night for the Aeros.
Zach Phillips added an even strength goal at 14:27 of the second period and Jake Dowell made it 4-0 for the Aeros at 16:52 of the third period.
Mike Testwuide's first goal as a member of the Heat made it 4-1 at 19:46 of the third period. Testwuide took a pass from Brady Lamb and beat Kuemper on a shot from the top of the right circle.
Barry Brust made his first start since March 2nd and stopped 20 of 24 shots in the loss. The Heat outshot the Stars by a 34-24 margin, including a 29-12 edge over the final 40 minutes.
The Heat did not score on seven power plays, while the penalty kill erased three-of-five Aeros man advantages.
The Heat conclude their season-long, 15-day road trip on Sunday afternoon in San Antonio with their final game of the season against the Rampage (AHL affiliate of the Florida Panthers). The Heat have one win, four losses and an shootout loss through the first six games of this road trip.
The Heat will return to Abbotsford for a pair of games with the Rockford IceHogs on the Friday March 22nd and Saturday March 23rd. For tickets and more information on the Heat, please call 1-877-452-HEAT(4328) or visit us online at www.AbbotsfordHeat.com.

Common Gene Variants Linked to ObesityPosted: Thursday, May 15, 2008
Researchers have identified new genetic variants that influence the risk of obesity, and insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes, according to findings from two studies published online this week.
In the first of the two genome-wide association studies, a research team headed by Dr. Ruth J. F. Loos, from Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge UK, analyzed data from 16,876 people of European descent.
The investigators not only confirmed prior research linking variants in the FTO gene with obesity, but they also identified a strong association with genetic variants near the MC4R gene. The MC4R gene regulates energy levels in the body by influencing how much we eat and how much energy we expend or conserve. Mutations in this gene are the most common genetic cause of severe obesity that runs in families.
The findings by Loos and colleagues, which were later confirmed in 60,352 adults and 5988 children, showed that the presence of the MC4R risk variant increased the odds that a child would be obese by up to 30 percent. An analysis of data from 660 families revealed that "over transmission" of the risk variant was common among obese offspring.
"Several groups had shown that rare, highly disruptive variants in the MC4R gene were responsible for very severe, genetic forms of obesity: this collaboration (by many international groups) has uncovered more common variants that affect more people," Loos said in a statement.
In the second study, an investigation of 318,237 single letter changes, or SNPs, in the DNA of over 14,000 subjects of Indian Asian and European descent, Dr. Jaspal S. Kooner, from Imperial College London, and colleagues linked a gene sequence variant near the MC4R gene with increased waist circumference and a tendency to become insulin resistant, which can lead to type 2 diabetes.
Two copies of the risk variant added roughly 2 cm to waist circumference and increased insulin resistance by about 10 percent, the results show.
"A better understanding of the genes behind problems such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease means that we will be in a good position to identify people whose genetic inheritance makes them most susceptible," Kooner said in a written statement.
"We can't change their genetic inheritance. But we can focus on preventative measures, including life-style factors such as diet and exercise, and identifying new drug targets to help reduce the burden of disease," Kooner added.

City resident wants new council with new ideas9:19 am | August 28, 2012
Thank you for the opportunity and reception of my letter. In November we will choose three new members to the City Council. Together, it will be these ladies and gentlemen who will run our city government and spend our tax dollars.
Unlike the present council members, I believe the new council members should be elected for their new ideas to keep our city growing, operating and serving the people of Elizabethton. And the new council members should give their word that they will diligently look for other ways to finance our city rather than raise electric rates, water/sewer/garbage fees, and land taxes. All such resources are drawn from an old well with an old rope and pail. The old well is almost dry and has become part of the problem.
New council members should find new solutions.
- J.D. Smith, Elizabethton

I've been looking around at all of the forums and can't seem to find an answer. Iatkos v 7 won't get into the installer. Whenever I run -v, it gets to the "loading Darwin /x86" and the spinner on the left eventually stops and goes away. Then it just sits there. I have tried these options (usually interchangeably): -v, -f, -x, toh -v, -v busratio=10 cpus=1. When I run nforce_core -v it goes back to the press f8 screen and when i type in -v, it gets stuck at "setting boot -uuid to: CA70EDFA-SC0F-3EE1-85C1-549AD20F9B35" then gets stuck again at the loading darwin screen. I have used the same .iso to install on my Dell and had minimal problems, so I know the .iso is good. Any suggestions?

And I wasn't.
Just got back from seeing it in 3D (which not only wasn't distracting, but looked quite good for a post-conversion). Very enjoyable, with yet another nice score from Michael Giacchino. They made some worthwhile changes to the novel (thank goodness everyone doesn't communicate via telepathy) and one not so good change (too bad the princess isn't naked through the entire picture). I also loved how the special effects didn't call attention to themselves; much of it looked like it was filmed on location at those Barsoomian cities. Editing was a little uneven and the screenplay could have made a couple of things clearer. Best part was how sympathetic the main characters were, much more so than in the books. I really, REALLY wanted him to get the girl.
Agreed, the entire advertising campaign has been horrible: not just the trailers, but what's with those stupid posters. Reminds me of how Warners promoted 'Iron Giant'.
Like you, I will definitely see the film again theatrically.

Summary of Autumn Whispers Summary of Autumn Whispers Reviews for Autumn Whispers An Excerpt from Autumn Whispers
We're the D'Artigo sisters: savvy half-human, half-Fae ex-operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. My sister Camille is a wicked-good witch with three sexy husbands. My sister Menolly is a vampire married to a wildly hot werepuma. And me? I'm Delilah, a two-faced werecat and Death Maiden. The Supe Community is in danger, and now it's up to us to unravel a mystery to which we may not want the answers…
When two vampiric software engineers approach us about a missing colleague, we don't expect to find much. But then Grandmother Coyote steps in and our simple missing persons case rapidly devolves into a nightmare of debauchery, slavery, and corporate greed. Now, we must infiltrate and destroy an underground organization of influential men, led by the mysterious Lowestar Radcliff, before they discover we're on to them. But one misstep puts our whole operation and our lives in peril, and I must unleash my powers as a Death Maiden, even if it means destroying someone I love.
